UPDATE 10:36 a.m. ET: Per KCTV, one shooting occurred at the facility and a related shooting occurred elsewhere. A player reportedly shot and killed his girlfriend then drove to practice facility and shot himself there.

The reports are that the Chiefs player is Jovan Belcher.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of both of the people shot.

Jovan Allen Belcher (born July 24, 1987 - died December 1, 2012) was an American football linebacker with the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. He played collegiately with the Maine Black Bears. He played defensive end during his junior and senior years, after switching to the position from outside linebacker where he played as sophomore and freshman.

Gotta wonder if they had an argument or something, so he shot her and then killed himself because of guilt or because he couldn't believe he did it, or if he became all messed up in the head because of injuries and just went off the deep end.

Tragic story indeed. Without knowing all the details and if the above poster is correct that he shot his girlfriend and then shot himself then I only feel bad for the girl. Also sad for their surviving family members.

Never heard of him apparently it was javon belcher inside linebacker wikipedia has already updated it

That's just sick. PFT is deleting posts identifying that name, as it has not been released because of notifying the family. Meanwhile, some SOB is SO eager to be the guy behind the story that they'll change the page. It's a disgrace to his family and the poor girl who was murdered.

Sometimes we think pro athletes have perfect lives compared to our own.
But they are human and have issues just like any of us.
The Chiefs organization just can't seem to find any kind of success or good fortune.
it was Joe Delaney 30 years ago and now.
How does Romeo Crennell get the team to respond to be able to focus tomorrow?

Obviously tragic news. I could care less about the guy who killed himself though - I feel bad for his poor girlfriend, her family, and the player's family - but not the player himself. He should have gone for help or at least just killed himself, leaving the girl out of it. He's a coward.

Unfortunately for the fans, we're going to have to listen to this over and over again on NFL Network, ESPN, CBS, and Fox. I almost don't even want to watch any of the games tomorrow. The last thing I want to have is terrible news mixed with football. This is why I watch football to get away from stories like this.

Wow...that's even crazier. So he shot her then tried to get away and the coaches tried to stop him if I'm reading that right...

Props to the Coaches. A lot of people would avoid that, but who knows...they may have saved other peopls lives by confronting him.
